A pair of two-bedroom semi-detached cottages, both requiring refurbishment, well located in the picturesque hamlet of Water End.

Description
These two, character semi-detached cottages have been in the same family for over fifty years. No. 15 was occupied by the owner until the end of 2024 and No. 14 has been vacant for a number of years, hence requiring more work than the former. Water End is a picturesque hamlet of charming period properties with many dating back to the sixteenth century and is surrounded by open countryside and has the River Gade running though it below its picturesque medieval style bridge. The area benefits from a full range of walks and bridle ways, and there are several excellent village pubs/restaurants, two garden centres, two golf clubs, and the Chiltern Local Equine Centre. The towns of Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead are close by with their full range of shopping facilities and amenities, and their Main Line railway stations to London Euston.

Completion Date:
The completion date is set for 23rd December 2025.

Accommodation
Ground Floor No. 14: Kitchen, sitting/dining room and a further small room off the kitchen.
